Abstract excerpt
A LIM homeobox gene, Lim5, is known to be expressed in the forebrain of Xenopus and zebrafish (Toyama et al. [1995] Dev. Biol. 170:583-593). Results from developmental and comparative studies of its mouse ortholog, Lhx5, indicate that this gene may play important roles in forebrain development. Lhx5 expression is detected in the most anterior portion of the neural tube at the headfold stage, overlapping partially...
